200GX and 260GX Threaded Wheel Grinding Machines
Gleason Corp. introduces the 200GX and 260GX threaded wheel grinding machines, its latest addition to the Genesis series. The twin-spindle concept combines maximum productivity with minimum idle and setup times. Fast, easy software-guided setup of the machine allows users to set up the GX series from one workpiece to another in 20 minutes using a single tool.
Terminator Impact Bit Set
Wiha Tools has introduced a new Terminator Impact Bit Set in a compact metal box. After months of testing and engineering enhancements, Wiha has completed and improved the production of Terminator Impact Bits.
Tool Turrets for CNC Lathes and Turning Centers
Automatic Tool Changers Inc. introduces a complete range of economical tool turrets for CNC lathes and turning centers, including replacements for the discontinued Dorian turrets as used on many HAAS TL series lathes. All turrets use a three-piece Hirth tooth coupling for high accuracy and maximum rigidity, plus allowing turrets to index without the tool carrier lifting.
AH8000 Inserts
Tungaloy Corp. announced an expansion of the AH8000 series for heat-resistant alloy turning. This expansion adds a new positive insert line to the product family.
BobART CAD/CAM Plug-in for Solidworks
BobCAD-CAM Inc. has released a training video set for the company's new BobART module, an artistic CAD/CAM plug-in for SOLIDWORKS. New to the BobCAM family of SOLIDWORKS plug-in products, BobART brings a set of creative tool sets that allow SOLIDWORKS users to apply artistic elements to CNC manufactured products.

DMC Series Double-Column, Moving-Table Bridge Mills
Johnford DMC series double-column, moving-table bridge mills from Absolute Machine Tools Inc. are created from a one-piece Meehanite cast iron bridge/column assembly that takes up 30 percent less floor space than comparable C-frame vertical machining centers.
SZ-V Series Safety Laser Scanner
Keyence Corp. of America has reportedly redefined safety laser scanners for a second time. Several improvements can be found in the new SZ-V series but multiple innovations were also achieved.
MS16 Plus Multiple-Spindle Lathe
Focusing on the replacement of cam-controlled multi-spindle lathes up to 22 mm bar diameter, the new extended version INDEX MS16 Plus of the MultiLine series is a modular design, 6-spindle CNC multi-spindle lathe. In each work spindle position, the machine can simultaneously accomplish two or more operations., dropping complete parts in very short cycles.
C100 Turn-Mill Machine
With three 14-position tool turrets and identical main and counterspindles, the new space-saving INDEX C100s are designed for fast, cost-competitive production of medium complexity parts turned parts from bar stock from 30mm to 42mm diameter.
WDN10 PCD Insert
The WDN10 from Walter, a high-performance and wear-resistant polycrystalline diamond (PCD) insert delivers outstanding hardness, a low coefficient of friction and minimum heat distortion. This helps result in maximum productivity and cost efficiency in the high-speed machining of nonferrous materials.
